CHOMSKY FOR ACTIVISTS
Suren Moodliar Charles Derber Noam Chomsky Paul Shannon
In these pages, the world-renowned author speaks for the first time in depth about his career in activism, and his views and tactics.
Chomsky offers new and intimate details about his life-long experience as an activist, revealing him as a critic with deep convictions and many surprising insights about movement strategies. The book points to new directions for activists today, including how the crises of the Coronavirus and the economic meltdown are exploding in the critical 2020 US presidential election year. Readers will find hope and new pathways toward a sustainable, democratic world.
Noam Chomsky is one of the most cited scholars in history and among the best known public intellectuals in the world today. Before coming to the University of Arizona as Laureate Professor of Linguistics in 2017, Chomsky taught linguistics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for 50 years.
Charles Derber, Professor of Sociology at Boston College is a noted public intellectual and author of twenty-five books.
